You can create a unique checklist for each task record. You can quickly create a checklist from a previously created template.

Before you begin

The Checklist formatter must be added to the form by a user with the personalize_form role.

Role required: for the write role, read role, and delete role, the logged in user must be sys_created_by.

Note: If the Explicit roles plugin is installed, the sn_internal role is required by the Customer Service Management and the Vendor Risk Management plugins (and possibly others.) The Explicit roles plugin automatically creates the sn_internal role and assigns it to all users.

      When a user creates a checklist from a template, all templates are listed in alphabetical order and there is no way to filter which templates appear. To provide a better user experience, consider implementing a naming system for checklist templates. For example, include the name of the table or another identifier to clarify how the checklist should be used.
    4. From the User Group list, select a group to limit the checklist template to.
      Only members of the selected group and the user who created the checklist can use the checklist as a template. Leaving this field blank prevents anyone but the template creator from using the checklist template.
